From War Cry on a Prayer Feather, 1979, by Nancy Wood
I wish the quiet heart.
Forced to choose a separate world
I crawl in order to stand alone.
I wish the quiet heart.
An exile from my borrowed land
I search for a place to call home.
I wish the quiet heart.
I wish the quiet land.
All around me quiet.
All around me peaceful.
All around me lasting.
All around me home.
